Neal Beidleman is no ordinary man. Raised in Aspen, CO his heart
had a big outdoor spirit. Pain became a close companion as he
started chasing high mountain summits and running 100 mile
races.His job is even abnormal - as an aerospace engineer he
designs deployable antenna structures for NASA and holds over a
dozen patents on designs and devises he has worked on over the
years. This guy is what you call - brilliant.While working as a
guide for Scott Fischer's 1996 Everest expedition which ended in
tragedy, Neal was credited a large role in assisting clients off
the mountain to safety. After summiting, a large rouge storm
encased the top of Everest with plummeting temperatures, high
winds, and zero visibility. The harrowing night had them exposed to
the brunt of the storm without shelter at 26,000 feet. Eight people
perished...Years later in 2011 and 2018 he successfully summited
again, healing the deep wounds of the 96' tragedy.Today he still
lives life to its fullest with more big mountain ascents in his
near future.His photography has documented his stories which have
appeared in National Geographic, TIME, Newsweek, Men's Journal, and
the cover of Life Magazine.
